What You Submit
And back-up records that we will go over
Alternative Covered Period
Covered Period: eight-week (56-day) Covered Period of your PPP loan. The first day of the Covered Period
must be the same as the PPP Loan Disbursement Date.
Alternative Payroll Covered Period: Borrowers with a biweekly (or more frequent) payroll schedule may
elect to calculate eligible payroll costs using the eight-week (56-day) period that begins on the first day of
their first pay period following their PPP Loan Disbursement Date.
For example, if the Borrower received its PPP loan proceeds on Monday, April 20, and the first day of its first pay
period following its PPP loan disbursement is Sunday, April 26, the first day of the Alternative Payroll Covered Period
is April 26
Borrowers who elect to use the Alternative must apply the Alternative wherever there is a reference to “the
Covered Period or the Alternative Payroll Covered Period.”
However, Borrowers must apply the Covered Period (not the Alternative Payroll Covered Period) wherever
there is a reference to “the Covered Period” only.

Required FTE Calculation
The actual loan forgiveness amount that the Borrower will receive may be less,
depending on whether the Borrower’s average weekly number of FTE employees during
the Covered Period or the Alternative Payroll Covered Period was less than during the
Borrower’s chosen reference period.
For each employee, for the appropriate period (Covered or Alternate Covered)
1. Take the average number of hours paid per week, divide by 40, and round the total to
the nearest tenth.
2. The maximum for each employee is capped at 1.0.
3. Or, simply assign a 1.0 for employees who work 40 hours or more per week and 0.5 for
employees who work fewer hours
